Odd Socks Havana^p,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 52| CD

11/2

4-time C&D winner who has shaped better than his recent form figures suggests, caught out wide when sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 12 days ago. Player off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 8768-46

Forecasts

Wyvern (9/4), Pallas Lord (4/1), Commander Crouch (9/2), Odd Socks Havana (11/2), Drafted (11/2), Heretic (11/1), Glastonbury (16/1)

ODD SOCKS HAVANA is a multiple C&D winner but hasn't enjoyed the best of runs in recent starts and is fancied to bounce back in style here. Wyvern is weighted to go close if back on song and could emerge as the main threat to Rebecca Menzies' 7-y-o, with fellow course victors Drafted and Pallas Lord also in the picture.
